Picture Problem


I was recently playing on my dad's iTouch and I was on an app called iSteam (you wipe away the steam to reveal a picture). I wiped away the steam but instead of seeing a pic of the fam, all I saw was a REALLY innappro pic of an unfamiliar woman! 
 

I have no idea what to do. I think I should tell my mom, but I don't want them to divorce. But still, I think she has a right to know. Please tell me what to do. I feel like crying.


Hey girl, this sounds like a rough sitch to be in. I know I’d be upset, just like you are. I'm sure you have all kinds of really hard emotions going on right now that you're not really sure what to do with.


Get dad one-on-one and tell him what happened. If you’re too scared to talk to him about this in person, try writing him a letter. Explain what happened and how it made you feel. You never know what the circumstances were with this pic. Maybe it was forwarded to him or the picture somehow downloaded by accident. Either way, you had the unfortunate chance of finding it, so he owes you an explanation.


Once you and your dad have talked it out, come up with a solution together. If it was just a misunderstanding, then it can be cleared away. If it turns out to be more complicated then I'm sure he will take the next step, keeping in mind that you should not have to be involved.


In the meantime, vent all your feelings out to your BFF. Don’t keep it bottled up! And if you’re still feeling dissatisfied after your talk with dad, seek help from a guidance counselor, older sib or trusted adult.


Good luck, girlie. And feel better!
